Akumi Wars Playtest update for 10 August 2022

Hello Playtesters,

There's been a ton of polish and work added to this build. We're giving you access to all the characters and skills in this build to test out again.

Updates:

• Turns between character actions have been sped up significantly.
• Frame-rate slow-down has been drastically reduced. Tulio fixed some performance issues and I turned off looping for a lot of visual effects like the healing over time animation. These we're a major reason for slow-down.
• Damage and heal over time effects are now played individually. Characters will now play a pain animation along with sound and visual effect for each DOT they have on them. Some dots have been reworked to have a more consistent effect: Poisons reduces healing and does damage to remaining health. Bleeds reduce damage and does damage to remaining health. Burns do a percentage of target's max health as damage. This can be slightly varied from character to character.
• Many menu polish updates: shop item tooltips, tooltips for characters in victory screen
• New characters: Miltonius, Tirax, Soybean, Chaz, Scarlet Betrayer
• Chad minor rework
• Level 20 big boss test nodes: "Timeless Titan" and "Scarlet Fiend" (Extremely Difficult)
• New settings options: fullscreen/ windowed, resolution options and a quit button!
• New voiceover audio added to Akumi and Drone in the first cutscene.
